Joan Brown at MATTHEW MARKS Yvonne Jacquette at DC MOORE

James Kalm has been involved with the art scene long enough to realize that sometimes the forces of the cosmos align, and one should take note. During a recent cruses through Chelsea, your correspondent noticed a pair of shows that present an extremely interesting contrast between the cultural (painting) production on the West Coast, versus that on the East Coast.
Joan Brown was a fierce artist who attained major critical attention at the age of twenty-two. Within the Bay Area art scene, she developed a unique oeuvre employing her experiences as a marathon swimmer. These works were a seminal component of the “Bay Area Figurative School” and “Funk Art”.
Yvonne Jacquette was an important member of the “Main School” a loose group of artists who summered in Down-State Main. Better known for her aerial views of cities, this exhibition presents the early works, sternly observed fragments of her environs, reduced and cropped to compositionally abstract designs. A musical introduction is provided by Gabriel Mayers. This program was recorded May 23, and June 1, 2023.. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
